> Mearsheimer is not liked, but he predicted this tragedy. His Mearsheimer:Russia Sees ‘Existential Threat,’ Must Win

>https://peaceworker.org/2022/04/mearsheimer-russia-sees-exis...

When Russia saw an existential threat when Wagner was marching towards Moscow nothing happened.

Russia doesn’t understand appeasement they only understand force.

It’s kinda sad how badly the realists like Mearsheimer have utterly failed to model Russian behaviour.

Giving Russia appeasements in Ukraine would just embolden them to try again.

They must lose decisively.

Any threat of nuclear war from Russia pales in comparison to the threat of future wars when nuclear proliferation goes through the roof, because you can invade whoever you feel and always win with nukes.
